Running against seven other athletes in heat three, Sekpona crossed the finish line by nearly ten minutes behind leader Wilson Kipketer of Denmark with an eighth-place time in 1:54.25. Sekpona failed to advance into the semifinals as he placed farther from two automatic slots for the next round and ranked no. 70 overall in the prelims.[2] Sekpona was also appointed as the Togolese flag bearer by the National Olympic Committee ({{lang-fr|Comité National Olympique Togolais}}) in the opening ceremony.[3] 2004 Summer OlympicsRacingSekpona's qualifying time for the men's 800m race was 1:52.40 (a personal best).[4] He qualified through the use of wildcard places, since their season best time fell outside of the "B" qualifying standards.[5] Sekpona's heat time for the men's 800m race was 1:54.25 (eighth place in an eight person heat). The heat winner, Wilson Kipketer of Denmark, finished nearly ten minutes quicker. Sekpona finished behind Bosnia and Herzegovina's Jasmin Salihović (1:49.59), Jean-Patrick Nduwimana from Burundi (1:45.38) and Brazil's Osmar dos Santos (1:45.90), who each advanced to the semifinals.[6] Sekpona failed to advance into the semifinals. He was ranked no. 70 overall in the prelims.[2] Flag bearerSekpona was the Togolese flag bearer in the opening ceremony, appointed by the National Olympic Committee ({{lang-fr|Comité National Olympique Togolais}}).[3] Youngest competitorAt just 17, Sekpona was one of the youngest in history to compete in the men's 800m race at the Olympics. Along with Ali Mohamed Al-Balooshi of UAE and Majed Saeed Sultan of QAT, the 2004 heats featured three of the six youngest competitors to attempt 800m at an Olympic level.[7] TeamIn 2004 Togo entered a team of three into the Olympics, two track and field athletes and a single canoeist; Jan Sekpona in the men's 800 metres, Sandrine Thiébaud-Kangni in the women's 400 metres, and Benjamin Boukpeti in the men's K-1. The 2004 Togo team did not win any medals. The country's participation at Athens marked its seventh appearance in the Summer Olympics since its debut at the 1972 Summer Games in Munich, West Germany.[8] Togo did not win their first medal until Benjamin Boukpeti at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. They have never had more than seven participants in any one Games.[8] References1. ^{{cite sports-reference|Jan Sekpona|https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/se/jan-sekpona-1.html|27 September 2013}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|title=Athletics: Men's 800m Round 1 – Heat 3|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/olympics_2004/athletics/results/3532556.stm|work=Athens 2004|publisher=BBC Sport|accessdate=27 September 2013}} 3. ^1 {{cite news|title=2004 Athens: Flag Bearers for the Opening Ceremony|url=http://www.olympic.org/content/news/media-resources/manual-news/1999-2009/2004/08/13/flag-bearers-for-the-opening-ceremony/|publisher=Olympics|date=13 August 2004|accessdate=11 September 2013}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.iaaf.org/athletes/togo/jan-sekpona-202810|title=IAAF: Jean SEKPONA {{!}} Profile|website=iaaf.org|access-date=2018-04-25}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.iaaf.org/news/news/olympic-games-athens|title=IAAF: Olympic Games, Athens{{!}} News {{!}} iaaf.org|website=iaaf.org|access-date=2018-04-25}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/2004/ATH/mens-800-metres-round-one.html|title=Athletics at the 2004 Athina Summer Games: Men's 800 metres Round One {{!}} Olympics at Sports-Reference.com|website=Olympics at Sports-Reference.com|language=en|access-date=2018-04-25}} 7. ^Notes from the OlyMADMan 6 August 2012 Olympic Day #10 https://www.teamusa.org/-/media/TeamUSA/Media/OlyMADMen_August-6.doc?la=en&hash=058FE8EDA33E9956AC0C86801EE057D84776F7A7 8. ^1 {{Cite web|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/countries/TOG/|title=Olympic History of Togo|website=Olympics at Sports-Reference.com|language=en|access-date=2018-04-25}} External links
